Bug description:
My computer is wired via a SpeedStream DSL modem/router to the
telephone line. Before I can go online my ISP requires a logon with
password. I cannot do this when booting with any Ubuntu installation
DVD I've used (14.04 & 16.04, both 32 and 64 bit). There is no way
I've found to run pppoeconf to attach to the internet unless pppoeconf
is available to do so.
Any attempt to use pppoeconf to configure the connection just tells me
the package is not installed and to use sudo apt-get install pppoeconf
but, of course, I cannot do this until pppoeconf enables me to get
connected.
My workaround has been to download the pppoeconf.deb package to a
thumb drive, then use GDebi to install it. This works but it's clumsy
and it's only been through trial and error and a whole lot of time
that I've figured this out. I doubt any newbie on dial-up or DSL will
be able to connect to the internet and so is likely to abandon the OS.
